lots of things "would be nice" but when they are not strictly necessary
nobody bothers to do them. This situation is very simple - if all ways to
mount.h go via headers that include it inside __KERNEL__ (looks like it)
and one still want to include it, then one suffers the consequences.

no, not out of luck. The programmer just does the ugly thing and copies
those declarations out of the header in its own private .hpp header,
modifying as necessary thus making the program non-portable and harder to
maintain - thats all. ;)
